But don't you think it's less because some other drama crossed 26000 on first day Why is that🤔
Keep in mind, you cannot compare heat across platforms. Every platform has its own way of calculating heat. You can only compare data within one platform data set.
This is fantastic heat (it actually just broke 8k) for Youku and especially because it only had a few hours to do so. It didn't air around noon, but already in the evening and heat counts only until midnight that day. To be first ever on the platform is amazing! If it reaches 10k which is it for Youku, it's brilliant but 8k on the first day is wow.
Days ago, a certain group was caught in public planning mass downvoting of ZHZ. It's been reported to the production but it's unlikely they can do much. The same group is active here plus a couple others that regularly downrate XZ dramas. I know it is frustrating but don't let it distract you from the magnificence of Zanghai. It is so good!
Just rate every episode as you see it. That is what we can do. The antis will do their thing and that still won't change the TV ratings of the first day, or all the ads, or the heat, or the really positive impressions people are reporting.
Second episode peaked at around 2.12% with over 10% market share which is excellent for a costume on CCTV8! It's just starting so hopefully it will ferment nicely in the days to come 🤞
I am going to be watching on CCTV so before it starts - I hope everyone has a lot of fun and I hope we have a great drama on our hands. See you on the other side, enjoy!!
I guess too many people demand romance so it is hard to skip in scripts. Here I am optimistic about ZHZ because from what was leaked, she has her own storyline, is a strong woman that is quite capable so overall, it should be a good, rounded character and not a prop. If it works out that way, it should fit into the story organically enough.
Awesome pre airing results ! Youku will make some good money 😁
That would be a lot of money! CXFX are also doing gifts of monthly membership so that's going to be an added bonus. Youku doesn't operate like Tencent or iQiyi, they don't have cloud bookings that are used to boost heat there so this type of monthly subs is the only option.
If normal discussion triggers them, then that's their problem. They will downrate this drama anyway because it won't have enough romance for their taste.
Anyway, to answer your post, nothing we know so far indicates anything but a side story. So more than NiF but not overwhelming. I actually like romance and I don't mind it at all in the story but in dramas like these I prefer my focus on revenge, politics and adventures and I do believe we are getting that.
It is actually 6726 at the moment which is fantastic for a day pre-broadcast! Reservations are about to reach 8.3 which means the drama will certainly break the all - time Youku record.

Overall the data today is excellent, it's topping Lighthouse as well.

It's only going to get worse I am afraid.

Youku might release it a little earlier but it's not certain. Just orient yourself around this hour every day.
(I am becoming a poster girl 😅😂)
